At least five people have been killed and some 2,000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed.

Israeli actress and model Moran Attias posted on Instagram a video of herself fleeing the fire in tears.

“I really need help because the fires are coming towards my house,” she said. “Listen, this is not real. Wow, what a bloody year, enough already, God.. The fires are here and they evacuated my house now, Ima’ah… How am I going to get anything out? This is not real.”
